Have you checked the sequence in which the shared
libraries are searched, past and present?

It is quite common for "the system" to search libraries
in one sequence, while specific applications search in
a different sequence. I am not knowledgable enough on
this topic to say what the default is, or what file one
can use to change that, but I know that it can be done.

Cheers!

Specific applications can alter the search order by
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH but I'm not aware of any Linux
applications that do that.
